WITNESS Media Lab Launches “Capturing Hate” Report

The WITNESS Media Lab is proud to announce the release of its latest report, Capturing Hate. This in-depth report takes a look at the current climate of hate against the LGBTQ community in the United States and aims to address the data shortfalls surrounding this issue of transphobic violence.

By sourcing, indexing and analyzing videos of violence against transgender and gender-nonconforming people that are taken and shared as entertainment, Capturing Hate looks to expose these patterns of discrimination and abuse and aims to equip advocacy groups and the media with the tools to more effectively and ethically use eyewitness videos to document and report on violence affecting the LGBTQ community.
